Mini Swim Camp June 21st-22nd
Thanks to all who participated in the swim camp.  We had 21 swimmers for the clinics on Saturday, and 12 on Sunday, along with 5 Varsity swimmers who swam 2hr workouts during each session.  A big thank you to the coaches Tom Anzai, Tim Kilby, and John Waring, and to videographer Ross Cowie.
 
 
Volunteers Needed
A Kids of Steel Triathlon will be held at Uplands Base on Sunday, July 13th.  I will be swim coordinator and need 5-6 volunteers to help out with organizing heats, counting lengths, and cheering on the kids.  The time commitment will be 3 hours: 8:30-11:30am.  Thanks to those who have already volunteered.  If anyone else can help, please let me know! 
 
 
Fundraiser for John Baxter's PanAm Games Trip

Fall/Winter Session Sneak Preview
Some of you are already looking ahead to the Fall and asking what Masters programs will be available.  Full details will be available shortly, and registration will start August 1st.  Here's a sneak preview!  The Fall session will start on Monday, September 15th.  (For the first two weeks of September we will likely run a few $3 workouts if there is enough interest -- more details in a future newsletter.)
 
The regular Masters programs offered for Fall/Winter (i.e. mid-September to December, and January to April) are as follows: 7:30am Earlybirds, 8:30am Earlybirds, 6pm Whitecaps, and 8pm Nightcaps (back to the usual 8-9pm TuTh plus Sat am).  The 6:30am Earlybirds will resume after the Varsity Season ends and will run mid-March to April.  Child Safety Supervision will be offered at the 6pm Whitecaps workouts plus the 9am Saturday workout.
 
There will also be three High Intensity Masters programs offered.  These groups train with the Varsity team during the Varsity season (mid-September to February).  Swimmers must be able to repeat 100s free on 1:45 or less and 100s of other strokes on 2:00 or better.  Spaces are limited.  The High Intensity groups are: a) 6-7:30am MWF; b) 7:30-9:30am TuTh (Th is Long Course); and c) 7:15-9pm M, 6-7:40pm W, and 5-7pm Sat. 
 
 
Swimmer Notes
 
Obituary  Anyone who has ever attended Masters Nationals has probably met Wayde Mulhern of the Minnesota Masters, a regular at the Canadian Masters Nationals since the mid-1980s.  He had a heart attack and died in his sleep on June 21st.  He was only 44.  He was an avid Masters swimmer, coach (Masters and High School), and a friend of mine.  For those who need a face to put to the name, here's a picture of Wayde and me at the Calgary Nationals in 2001: http://carletonmasters.tripod.com/LynnWaydeCalg01.jpg.  Wayde was an avid backstroker.  Despite being at the upper end of his 40-44 age group, he was 2nd in 200bk in 2:29 and 3rd in 100bk in 1:08 at the Montreal Nationals last month.  He called his favourite stroke "belly-up" and his Minnesota Masters team-mates are asking that we all swim a 50m "belly-up" in Wayde's memory the next time we're in the water.
 
Membership / Masters Registration Audits:  Audits of the Masters class lists and membership lists were done last week.  You will have been contacted if any irregularities were found in your registration. 
 
Nose Clips for Sale:  Cost $5.  Contact Lynn if you are interested.

Ask the Coach
 
Dear Coach:  I've noticed that some of the faster swimmers do a dolphin (fly) kick or two after they push off the wall in freestyle.  Is that legal and is it faster than flutter (freestyle) kick?  I Want Faster Turns
 
Dear I.W.F. Turns:  Yes, it is legal, and, for most people, it is faster to do dolphin kick rather than flutter after each turn.  You'll likely also find it more tiring!  Ask your coach to help you with this if you're interested.
 
Dear Coach:  I do a partial catch-up when I swim freestyle.  Is that ok, or should I try to avoid that?  Swim Clinic Attendee
 
Dear S.C. Attendee:  A partial catch-up is a good thing!  That means that you're spending more time with an arm above your head in the most efficient and streamlined position of the stroke cycle.  This is what all the Australians do and it's called "front quadrant" swimming as you always have one hand in the water in front of your shoulders.
